Hey @grindstr,

you are using a lot of plugins and it seems like your website is quite slow:

It could also be that your web server doesn’t have enough power for your website. I would advise you to follow some basic instructions to speed up your website.

Well, I was waiting for this feedback, I have seen the same argument to others in Forum complaining of the same.

I can’t see your answers  explain the 60 sec delay time entering one of the topic with 25 posts.
What is this 43 sec idle time?  See attached file. What is happening within this time? Uploading images?

And from your scan the average load time 3,9 sec, for sure not the best, but this don’t explain the delay.
Everything else on my web is responding normally compared to this specific topic. I have hundreds of pictures on my blog, never had any issue loading them. Takes 2,6 sec to open.

I did a test and set the post pr. topic to 1(one). Every post with only text responded normal, but the post with 2 images of total 4 MB took 10-12 sec. Renaming the files on the forum folder change the respond time to normal, so it’s clear that this is a upload problem.

Yes, it’s possible to spend a lot of money to have the best server on the marked, but seeing this from a programmer point of view, it should be much better to make codes that works on average servers. Not sure if this will help, but why not introduce Lazy Loading for images?

Anyway, sorry for being a bit stubborn, I still think the problem goes both way, if you see my point. I can live with this drawback, the forum is anyway perfect for my use.
Thanks for your feedback

Hey @grindstr,

so you only get this problem for posts with images attached, right?

Can you please create me a user for your forum?  So I can have a look at that problem.

Yes, this is what I suspect. Have sent you epost 🙂

Hey @grindstr,

I did check some pages on your site and it is really super slow. I think it is not necessarily your web server, but your website itself. You should really do some page optimization:

• images are big and not optimized
• CSS and JS files are not optimized
• insecure connection, because of mixed-content (this is probably also causing the slow HTTP/1 protocol)
• you are using a lot of plugins (e.g. also the slider, map, and contact form are being loaded in the forum)
• your main page is doing 226 requests (asgaros.de is doing 39)

As a usual user of your forum, I’m not able to check the database but I guess that a cleanup of it is also needed. A lot of plugins don’t remove their database entries and tables and can cause a slow database.

I would advise you to optimize the speed of your website by following this guide:

You could also follow other guides, but I think this is a good start.

It’s also a good start to use the guides provided by lighthouse or gtmetrix:
